HUICHOL, felt rug, tapestry

Creator: Elissa Medina
Offered by: Marion Friedmann Gallery

Description
This piece is a homage to the Huichol (or Wixáritari), an indigenous people in Mexico, living in the Sierra Madre Occidental covering the states of Jalisco, Nayarit, Zacatecas and Durango. In a religious and philosophical context, ‘huichol’ art expresses the connection between the gods and the profane. The Huichol are famous for their glass-bead artworks and also for their use of the Peyote cactus for medicinal and shamanistic rituals. A fun, spiritual, psychedelic wall or floor-piece, in the shape of animal skin. Here felt charmingly replaces the animal fur. Elissa Medina is a Mexican designer, now working and living in Brooklyn, New York. She creates design pieces and sculptural objects, in textiles and ceramics.
The felt is the highest quality felt made in Germany, produced of 100% Merino wool from New Zealand. OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified.
